How to add a second switch to landing light

[mark-s]

I currently have a switch on the landing to turn off the light. There is also a switch downstairs with an existing 3 core and earth wire running upstairs to the upstairs switch.

I just need a little help on how to wire the downstairs switch into the upstairs one.

The image shows how the upstairs light is wired. I hope this makes sense.

Put the 2 wires on the landing switch into L1 and L2 (so just move one) and connect the 3 core the same up and down. Eg..brown com, black L1 and Grey L2 oh and put brown sleeving on the black and grey.
