QuoteToday in 1953 Queen Mary, The Queen's grandmother, died peacefully in her sleep. She was 85 years old. At 11:15pm an announcement was posted outside Marlborough House announcing her death. According to The Yorkshire Post from 25 March 1953: "While sleeping peacefully, Queen Mary died at twenty minutes past ten o'clock."

It's very interesting to read about the protocol surrounding the announcement if her death and the worsening of her condition. I hope when the current Queen passes, it won't be announced via Twitter.
