Firstly, what was it that tripped? An MCB or an RCD.

Picture of it if you don't know.

Also a picture of the other switch wiring - the one that also operates the same light as one of these.
 
From reading other posts with similar but not same issue and through trial and error I seem to have fixed this, it all works now, thanks for reply though much appreciated.
