Help electrics gone

Hi All
I wonder if anyone can give me any advice.... My dad was changing a light fitting today when there was a clicking sound and all the lights have gone off.
All the electric sockets seem to be working fine and one light will come on. The fuse box seems ok. Any ideas??
Thanks

    Is there a trip switch in the fuse box at all? When a bulb goes at my mum and dad's it always trips the switch so you have to flick the switch in the fuse box back to get the lights back on again!
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    residual somthing or other...if you have a newer consumer unit type fusebox, i think it usually a bigger switch in the middle (mines green i think)
