Well, I WAS there (or so I'm told)!
I don't remember it, as being born late in April, that was the day my Mum says that she and I left the hospital after my birth (I don't know if there were any medical problems, but apparently, back in those days, it was the norm for mother & child to stay in hospital for a week or so after birth).
Talking years afterwards Mum told me that about the only things that really stuck with her was the buses suddenly having normal inside lighting (instead of dim blue bulbs), plus all the street lamps working again.
But I can well believe that those who suffered least celebrated the most - Mum actually worked as a nursing assistant in the hospital where I was born for some while before I was born - I believe the then Ministry of Labour directed civilians to the jobs where they were most needed.
Certainly a bit different to today (yesterday), even allowing for our current Covid situation
My wife, who was born here (Switzerland) in 1941 also remembers VE Day. As others have said, her overwhelming feeling was relief (she said she was very pleased to see her Dad again some month or two later). He was away for virtually the whole time, manning one of the Alpine gun sites. And she also remembers about a year before the end, when the "Amis" accidentally bombed Schaffhausen (nav error, it's right on the border with Germany).
