I think you did a right thing. I think there are other ways you could've handled it that would probably have been as good, but none that would likely have been better.
As for the guilt you feel, it's certainly understandable. As a parent, I've experienced similar feelings when I've had to rebuke my kids in front of other people. That guilt is one of the chief reasons why being a parent is more difficult than being a kid, I think.
