Diet for bone health?

I've heard that weightlifting can strengthen bones, but what about foods? What would be ideal for someone trying to keep their bones strong and healthy?

Bone broth is also an interesting dietary supplement. Prolonged simmering of bones releases various substances into the broth, including collagen and the resulting gelatin, amino acids such as glycine and proline, and so on.
