The first VE Day in 1945 was wild. In Europe, UK, the US and in Australia/New Zealand they were dancing in the streets. Strangers kissed each other. Musicians played music. Food was brought out of storage (they had saved it up from their rations) and they ate till they hurt. They cheered and cried. Some places, like the US, started up sport games to play until dark. It went on for days. When VJ day came it was even bigger because the war was officially over around the world. Hundreds of thousands came to see the King, Winston Churchill and in the US they came to see Truman and US leaders. The streets were absolutely jammed.
