A:

In the synoptic gospels, no one was at the foot of the cross, although those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off with Mary Magdalene and other women. Peter could perhaps have been one of those afar off, but he was not at the crucifixion.

In John's Gospel, Mary mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and another woman called Mary were at the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. We do not know who the beloved disciple was, but he certainly was not Peter. Tradition says that he was John.
